COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The attorneys for Dalvin Gadson, the 29-year-old man who was injured during an October traffic stop in Colorado Springs, announced that the District Attorney has dropped criminal charges against Gadson.
The suit alleges they deliberately, knowingly, intentionally, and violently beat Gadson during a traffic stop on October 9. The suit also claims Officer Anderson hit Gadson 20 times over the head with a closed fist. By dropping the charges, the District Attorney has made it clear that these officers had no reason to detain Mr. Gadson for a DUI investigation, much less beat him mercilessly and then smile for the cameras as he lay on the ground bleeding. In other words, this decision means that their actions weren’t just excessive. They were unlawful.
Natasha Powers is a retired police officer and use of force expert who weighed in after watching the video.
